COMPANY CHRONIC

In 1974, the BLOCK company began trading in ophthalmic equipment and instruments. In the same year the assortment was extended by furnishings. From that time on, ophthalmologists and opticians were offered the entire range of ophthalmic equipment and instruments, as well as complete interior furnishings such as floor coverings, curtains and furniture, sanitary objects, tiles, lamps, partition walls, doors and ceilings. In addition, a separate design and customer service department was created. With this step, BLOCK was one of the first companies in the ophthalmic industry in Germany to specialize in complete furnishings and equipment for ophthalmologists and optometrists.

Over the years, in cooperation with ophthalmologists and opticians BLOCK quality units such as CT, Vario, Duoline, Titan, Opal, Onyx, Jade, Solitair or – as the latest member of a rich product range – the refraction unit Innovario In addition, the company BLOCK produces phoropter splints, phoropter arms,
